Question

Phenomenon of organisms having similar structure with a similar origin is

• A. Mimicry
• B. Analog
• C. Homology
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is C Homology

A. Mimicry: The close external resemblance of an animal or plant (or part of one) to another animal, plant, or inanimate object.

B. Analogous organs: The organs which have the same function and are superficially alike but are quite different in fundamental structure and embryonic origin.

C. Homologous organs: The organs of different species of common descent which look different and perform different functions, but have the similar basic structure, similar topographic relationship, and similar embryonic origin.

So, the correct answer is 'Homology'.
